Computing refrigerant mass flow rates through capillary tubes.

Author(s) : MELO C., FERREIRA R. T. da Silva

Summary

A numerical model used to calculate the flow through capillary tubes employed as expansion devices in refrigeration systems, is presented. It is shown that the common practice of creating models by selecting "traditional" values or expressions from the literature yields a considerable degree of freedom to any related validation exercise. It is strongly recommended that the upcoming studies focusing mainly on new ozone-safe refrigerants be conducted based on reliable sets of experimental data.
